MORE RAY'S.................

HAPPY NEW YEAR.......... 

 

HARLEY WOODS...TOSA TRAILS AND A DOG BLOG....


The last few days have provided some pretty scenic views of the local trails.

The people who ride here regularly know the area well, but rarely is it this nifty.


I try not to take for granted what is right outside my front door.





Julie and I took the "hell hound" with us for a little snowshoe fun.....He was diggin' it. I was wearing mine on the wrong feet. I don't think it makes much difference, but still....I'm a total rookie.


The snow was white as ...umm.....snow.


Back home just before dark.

RAY'S INDOOR MTB PARK.....CLEVELAND, OH


A small group of local mofo's did a "quick turn and burn" to Cleveland this weekend.

We rode for about 5 hours Saturday and 5 hours Sunday.

They have a nice pump track too

This place is really cool...Well worth the trip.

More photos to come.

I'll be coming back.


It's too bad Meg didn't have any fun.....jk...lol..(what ever the hell that means).

BEFORE AND AFTER...............

I'm such a good husband.....and at just under 11 months, I work pretty quick too.

BIKE WORK.......

MEGAVIOLINATRON.............



Her friend Sam had a kickass solo. She rocks bigtime!!

I've said it before....Over the years, these concerts have gone from pure torture to very relaxing, enjoyable evenings.

I FOUND INTELLIGENT LIFE ON MARS......REALLY....I DID...YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.



My team won the scavenger race......



We won this......



Three martians and one unidentified alien who smelled like really strong coffee.



BIG THANKS to the MARS team for letting me hang out with them at their team party and scavenger race. It was truly a blast.

HOT CHICKS AND MONKEYS.....................

Recently, I took a small poll asking what people want to see/read about on blogs.

Two of the most popular answers....hot chicks and monkeys.....WHODATHUNK???

Tip: When searching the web for pics. of "hot chicks" and "monkeys"...one must perform two seperate searches.

A single search of "hot chicks and monkeys" will get you this.

For what it's worth...my poll did not include any hot chicks......or monkeys for that matter.

PROSIT..............

Here's to a happy holiday season.

MANY WAYS- TO- HAVE- A- GOOD- TIME........

At the Y.M.C.A....

Finally back at the "Y" after 7 months off. I did my first body pump class and got my ass handed to me by a room full of soccer moms and Coooop.

Life's good..................

HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY DIRECTION.............

Upside down...psychotic reaction.....

Saturday was a pretty cool day.

11 of us rode the Tosa trails in absolute perfect conditions. Kyle, Rick Walls, Danny and Jeff Schneider, DaSug, Flat, Dave Dahlman, Meg, Mark Burkholtz, Glen ?, and myself. Since Glen and Mark found out about the ride from reading this lame excuse for a blog, I guess I should be a bit more responsible about updating it. 2.5hours in which DaSug lived up to his now seldom used nickname(crash) on a number of occasions. Not that he crashes any less...he just rides alot less lately. Here's a real shocker for ya'.....Flat calls and says he running a little late with (you guessed it)....a flat. It must have been his last tube because he then handed off the flatting duties to Danny. Danny can change 2 flats faster than I can change 1...and he did, so that was cool. After riding, we headed over to the new Alterra on Nort' ave. for post ride snacks and silly talk.....gooooood coffee...(but their MTB racing team is another story). Nyuk.

Later I headed down to the Rave to catch The Cult with Flat and some of his boys....Interesting cast of characters to say the least....especially Dave. If you ever send your Buick into a ditch near Hancock, Mi... you're in for a real treat. The Rave has never been one of my favorite places to see a show, but they seem to be cleaning the "dump" up a bit. If high-energy, load-ass, rock and roll is your thing.....you would have enjoyed it.....I did. Pretty accurate review here.

It's safe to say..their amps go to 11.

And yes...I know I said Hancock.
